(Motion carried 5-0). C. PUBLIC HEARING: Variances (1) Setback -Structure from lake (2) Setback-Drainfiel.d from lake Shoreland Permit from 1/17 Tom Scheuerman, 3077 Klondike Mayor Dunn opened up the Public Hearing at 8:48 p.m, in the City Council chambers. The public hearing notice was duly published and adjacent property owners were notified. There were no comments from the audience. The Tom and Jean Scheuerman residence at 3077 Klondike Avenue was destroyed by fire. The Scheuermans own Lots 6 and 7, Ruth's First Addition with a combined lot acreage above the Ordinary High Water Mark of 2.2 acres, which exceeds the minimum requirement of 1-1/2 acres of a Recreational Development Lake. A site plan for the reconstruction had been submitted for the City Engineer's review. Variances are required for: 1) structure setback from the OHW of 55 feet where 100 feet is required, and 2.) d.rainfield setback from the High Flood Mark of 25 feet where 75 feet is required. The applicants' hardship was the topography of the lots. A high ridge runs in a north -south direction through this subdivision and creates the only buildable area on the lots. The house and drainfields are proposed to be located on this ridge. A letter was received from Lloyd and Ruth Shervheim, 3065 Klondike Avenue N, stating they had no objection to the City granting the requested variances which would enable the Scheuermans to proceed wtih their reconstruction. Mayor Dunn closed the public hearing at 8:50 p.m. The Council made the following motion based on the hardship being the topography of the lots. There was sufficient room for an alternate drainfield site, the new house would not increase the non -conformity, and the DNR had no concern with this application. M/S/P Graves/Williams - to grant a variance for structure setback from the Ordinary High Water Mark of 55 feet where 100 feet is required; to grant a drainfied setback variance from the High Flood Mark of 25 feet where 75 feet is required; and to grant a Shoreland Permit to Tom Scheuerman at 3077 Klondike Avenue for the reconstruction of a single family residential. unit, based on the hardship demonstrated by the topography of the lots. (Motion carried 5-0). Mr. Scheuerman advised the Council of the superb job he thought our Fire Department had done and extended his thanks to the Fire Chief and the firefighters.
